Tectane Offers a Net Zero Solution for Existing Vehicle Infrastructure
By injecting a water-ethanol mixture that can be used on almost any
vehicle, and by producing ethanol from the prolific and multi-use sweet sorghum
plant, Tectane's net result is no added emissions to the environment, at a cost
savings.

MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA -- Tectane has what they believe is a net zero solution
to the vehicle emissions problem -- using the existing infrastructure -- and
they have extensive science to back them up.
This past Wednesday, at an important press conference, they showed a 30-minute
short version of a documentary film about their company, being produced by
Nicholas Klein, known for such Hollywood hits as The Million Dollar Hotel
starring Mel Gibson and The Venice Project starring Dennis Hopper and
Lauren Bacall. Klein narrates the Tectane film, and is shown in the film
interviewing various scientists, farmers, financiers, government officials, and
others involved in the production and documenting of the product. (Ref.)
The technology Tectane uses for water injection into the fuel mixture was first
used in WWII to boost the elevation to which Allied planes could fly, giving
them an advantage over Nazi forces. The developer of that technology has
passed to Tectane the key formulas, which Tectane has continued to improve.
A vehicle running on this technology requires only a slight addition to the
engine compartment to house the injection apparatus, which is said to increases
mileage by between 20 and 40 percent, cutting emissions by 20 to 60 percent,
while increasing horse power by 10 to 15 percent, and increasing the lifetime of
the engine by 50 percent. It also removes the need for the catalytic
converter, as well as environmentally destructive chemical additives to the fuel
like MBTE or benzene. The modification enables almost all cars to run on
any fuel, including low (75) octane gasoline, which is cheaper, requiring less
refinement..
The second part of the equation is in the ethanol production method that they
promote, using sweet sorghum. The plant can grow without pesticides or
expensive fertilizers, grows prolifically, with little water, producing two
crops per season; and the entire plant can be used, not just a portion.
The stalk fibers can be used as a substitute for wood composites, eliminating
the need for deforestation for buildings. The grainy top can be used for
animal feed. The pulp can be used for paper production, and has been by
the paper company, Cascade, since 2003. The leftover biomass can be used
in energy generation plants, being an ideal fuel since it is neither too dry nor
too wet.
Furthermore, the amount of sweet sorghum produced to make enough ethanol for
vehicle fuel, captures enough CO2 to make the entire system "net zero"
in its emission of CO2 into the environment. The CO2 that is emitted from
the vehicle running on the fuel made by the Tectane process, is sequestered or
taken up by the amount of sweet sorghum plant required to produce that fuel.
The finale of the film makes the statement: "Tectane helps you save money
while also helping you save the world. It's an awfully big world.
Join us."
While the 30-minute short will not be made available for download until after
the movie hits the big screen, the company will provide a free copy of it on DVD
to anyone who inquires. (Contact)
